Paul, Simple things to try:
1) Based on this from the manual: It is possible to pass DFSMSdss filtering criteria in a data set by using the FILTERDD keyword. If you do this, the data set should have the following characteristics: RECFM=F or FB LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=80 for F (or a multiple of 80 for FB Make your FILTER DD a dataset instead of instream. 2) I like this one better. Move the filter criteria into the DUMP DATASET INCLUDE instead of a DD: //SYSIN DD * DUMP DATASET(INCLUDE(PBREX.PRJW.**, PBREX.PRUFST.CHOICE.AUDIT) - BY(DSORG,NE,VSAM)) - OUTDDNAME(TAPE1) - WAIT(0,0) - FORCECP(0) - DELETE PURGE My thoughts were possible a ")" imbalance? Finally, if dump is successful, you really want to delete datasets?

I have raised a PMR but there are no known hits and investigation is potentially billable so thought I'd check with this forum... Find it really hard to believe that nobody else in the world has had this problem if it's a real bug. We've had 2 occurrences of this abend after upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3, 1 on each of 2 systems. It's really hard to reproduce (in fact we can't, apart from these 2 jobs). Symptoms are : IEA794I SVC DUMP HAS CAPTURED: 283 DUMPID=003 REQUESTED BY JOB (BBSPDB03) DUMP TITLE=DFSMSDSS-DUMP ABEND=0C4,COMPID=DF175,ADRFTARR,JOBNAM E=BBSPDB03 CSECT:ADRDTDSC OFFSET:0003D050 >From this job: //PS010 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //TAPE1 DD DUMMY //FILTER DD * INCL(PBREX.PRJW.**, - PBREX.PRUFST.CHOICE.AUDIT) - BY(DSORG,NE,VSAM) - //SYSIN DD * DUMP OUTDDNAME(TAPE1) - DATASET(FILTERDD(FILTER)) - WAIT(0,0) - FORCECP(0) - DELETE PURGE The other job is similar. Only similarity is that the generic dataset names refer to some GDGs, some of which are on tape. Both systems have the same usermods (for ADRUENQ and ADRUPSWD) but I have restored them off and still get the issue.
